since we've seen a little of the story by now I'd say you're doing decently well but reducing the number of clichés used would make this book more enjoyable. I understand that clichés make it easier to explain things and set up action but it makes everything feel cheap and predictable. judging by the characters of the figures we've seen so far, they seem well done, I'd think you shouldn't need to use so many clichés, the skills seem to be there, if you use them because you like them that's your choice but I think the truly good story don't need them.
